Weather34 Aurora Version(english supported only)

[prestwickwx]

Hi Brian,

I see that CheckWX is back.

One request - is it possible to reduce the F C temperature icons to one, like you have on your site? (Selecting F brings up C). I was doing some customizing and trying to reduce the number of icons in the Legend for mobile.

ok i can but what happens if you click F does it still show both F & C ?

[prestwickwx]

On your site when you click F it shows C, Clicking C shows F. This, to me, is perfect.

i dont think mines any different ill take a look at the script.as for checkwx like all API services prone to downtime, ive seen it return service unreachable a few times today. so dont put too much emphasis on it..

[prestwickwx]

Here is what I see on yours when viewing in Metric. When I click F it changes to Imperial and shows C.

Yes, my Checkwx was not updating the file in the jsondata so, I emptied the file and will see what happens on the next update. The checkwx site shows updates once per hour. I think they made a few changes - I had to setup a new account and get a new API key. My old account credentials did not work.

I think I see my checkwx problem - Did you update the stationcron? Looks like some files in the update that are not on Git.

Brian,

Ok. Got the stationcron. Looks like the css files may have been updated, as well.

Many thanks

Have just run the update 11/12/20 ( after doing a backup! )
However it appears that my site has now been replaced by one called Demo PHP 8 ..

So it appears all my settings have been lost at this point. I really don't want to tinker as I'm worried that I might lose or corrupt data
Can anyone help?

Gary,

I would just grab your console-settings.php from the backup and upload it. Looks like it was over written in the Update.

[weatherist34]

Hi Brian

What is the best way to update Aurora?

I can see new update files and I can download them and update the system. Are the files cumulative or must I check each day?

In the "old" days it was possible to update via HWS via Github, but I can't see that possibility anymore.

BTW, changing "-1 Day" to "Now" in charts-end-of-day.php is working. Now I have the right day and dataa in the files. I don't now why I need to have this change, when others don't.

good morning

the simple update file contains all updated files used in the download master since version release . I simply change the version number when the simple update reaches 1mb which generally means there has been a considerable amount of changes since release. so once it reaches 1mb it would or become become weather34 aurora 0.1

to use the simple update file .simply download the zip file to your desktop then transfer the zip file into the main directory (root) of the template.open up the settings screen scroll to bottom and click the big orange button , it will open up a screen and if oyu uploaded the zip to the root of the template folder then it will appear simply click update. if you have multiple zip file in that template root i.e previous dated zip update it will offer a selection . simply select the latest dated one(all updates are dated) .
example
aurora-simple-update-12-12-2020.zip

just a simple click and its done . I strongly advise to use the backup feature in the same screen prior to doing updates .that is a one click solution and will create a dated backup which you can either keep on your server or download it to your desktop for safe keeping.the back up saves the whole template which is useful for keeping history data safe and preserved on your computer in the event something goes wrong.

GITHUB access is available on request and you need a trusted background of participating on GITHUB. I did allow access to many in previous version but big but some of those would change or edit files directly on the master mostly this was languages or something to suit there local environment .unfortunately they began to mess up things as it was NOT well thought how it would effect others .So I only grant access to a trusted few .

the latest update aurora-simple-update-12-12-2020.zip is minor only adds the phrase "MENU" to the icon and clean up of the compass(direction) css in the recent added metar screen .when new things get added it takes a few days to get looking right and fixing anomalies between metrics etc..

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the new Menu icon. Also, I figured out how to solve my issue with the F and C temperature icons both displaying simultaneously - rather than just the one needed (the opposite of the current display).

The default in the index.php was set to display both:

else if ($units==''){ // default
echo '<a href="?units=us" data-title="Imperial Units">
'.$weather34F.'</a>';
echo '<a href="?units=metric" data-title="Metric Units">
'.$weather34C.'</a>';
}

rather than

else if ($units==''){ // default
echo '<a href="?units=metric" data-title="Metric Units">
'.$weather34C.'</a>';
}

Which just shows the C (metric), since my Default is Imperial.

Looks like yours might work this way, as well.
